I have a Dell Studio XPS that I bought in 2010. The original operating system installed on the machine is Windows Vista Home.
I'd like to upgrade to Windows 8.1. My system meets all hardware requirements. I also know I need to do a clean installation to completely wipe out my old files and OS before I can upgrade.
My question is will I be able to download the Dell drivers, etc., from the site or should I take a backup of the driver installation files? For example, the drivers for DVD/CD reader, etc.
Thanks for help!
